The President Who Cried Wolf

His sheep

had increased

in numbers

His little herd

now surpassed

three hundred

thirty million

But his tactics

had not matured

A desire

to tell the truth

still eluded him

despite all the

sheep who had

suffered under

his negligent care

The boy,

despite his

seventy-two years,

still endlessly

cried wolf

10,796 times

last I checked

but his lips

may have moved

since then
